A fantastic week at #COSPAR25 in Nicosia, Cyprus where I presented at my first international conference! An absolutely amazing experience. Thank you to everyone involved for making it such a fascinating and memorable week.

1st day for my new PhD students: Nicole Green and @astrologee.bsky.social We'll be working on a project entitled 'Beyond Metalaw: Extraterrestrial Life in the International Legal Order' where we will explore the challenges extraterrestrial life poses for the international legal order.

Scafell Pike, Lake District. The tallest mountain in England.
It is important to remember that whilst we search for habitable worlds out there, much of what we are looking for is right here on our beautiful Earth already. We shouldn’t take it for granted!

Happy to share my first ever published paper (as a contributor). The product of my placement year just over 2 years ago. Looking at fossilised organic/inorganic tubules on Mars.
So honoured to have been part of this team.

Is it possible to leave no trace in space? Should we strive for it anyway? Why?

A video from a year ago, during my undergrad degree. Little did I know at the time I’d be doing a master’s, let alone a PhD in Space law, come October.
Would recommend Bio w/Sci&Soc to any young scientist for the academic and personal development opportunities.

An astonishing headline reporting on new observations from a team led to Nikku Madhusudhan claims they’ve found ‘hints of life’ on a planet orbiting a dwarf star some 124 light years away. What’s going on? (1/n) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🔭 🧪
Promising hints of life found on distant planet K2-18b
Scientists find new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life.

really good thread, recently reread Dicks Biological Unniverse as Im writing a bid on the legal implications of finding ET and thought a lot the history if 'false detection' of extrasolar planets. Need to take the position of highly skeptical - risk seeing a version of the Martian Canals...

Was back in Edinburgh this week, attending a workshop about outer space from an ecological economics perspective! So interesting to discuss themes like sci-fi, space mining, settlement and ET with a fresh lens and with new people too!
Also got to see the lovely @astr0mia.bsky.social too!!

Received an offer this morning for my dream PhD!!!! Extraterrestrial life and space law combined. How exciting and mind blowing that this project even exists and the fact that I get to do it is even more exciting! Got to finish the master’s first but so excited for this next chapter!

So lovely to come across a starter pack with my name on it among so many great researchers in Astrobiology.
Don’t see packs pop up too often anymore but if you are interested in Astrobiology, I can recommend this pack!! 😌💫🔭
